Those rich kids sound like the kind of people who would be on some stupid Disney Channel sitcom or be those kind of people who hate anything that isn't from their childhood(as in those UUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH fidget spinners, Garten of BanBan(barfs), Poppy Pla-barfs again, trap music(I AM DYING OF CRINGE), among other things I shall not write down.
I like Disney Channel sitcoms myself and I don't get that vibe. Frankly the Hippie movement was always kinda problematic from the beginning(it kinda-sorta led to the Manson murders among other things)for as good intentioned as it was, even back in the day it had a lot of issues. People like to mythologize Woodstock 69 but it had a lot of problems. There was a pretty bad documentary about Hippies that really showed the problems with that whole culture: www.the-unknown-movies.com/unknownmovies/reviews/rev483.html
I never got the hate for fidget spinners myself, they were designed to help kids with mental issues like autism to have something to do with their hands, not the creators fault that it became trendy for Youtubers to show them off, anyways it's kinda silly to bang on about them now as spinners lost their popularity many years ago
I was a young autistic kid during those days & I had my own better ideas like flipping pennies. No need for spinny thing.
Dreams are boundless, imaginations are infinite, space is a multi-directional spiral & Akazukin ChaCha is my favorite anime

Well not every kid was like you, they were legit helpful for some kids.

I am autistic (with also adhd and dyslexia) and I have a fidget spinner and other fidget toys and personally it helps me to focus and like any other tool for any kind of disability (regardless if it's a physical disability or a learning disability) some tools work for some people but may not for others with a similar disability. So it really depends on the person and what their needs are.
There are really three fandoms that I've had personal contact with that I can speak about from experience.
For one, Harry Potter. I've posted elsewhere on this site about my experiences interacting with some of its members. I have personally found it to be very toxic.
Also, band or singer fandoms weird me out. Right now, I am so sick of hearing about Taylor Swift, I could scream. The fandom right now seems almost cultlike to me.
One more for good measure (and I'm gonna call my past self out on this one): Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons. (You know, that weird Tumblr crossover from the 2010s?) I was a ride-or-die ROTBTD fan back when it was at its peak, so I was deep in the trenches. I came to it from the HTTYD fandom (or How to Train Your Dragon, for those who aren't in the know), and boy, howdy, did discovering the endless possibilities of this crossover change my brain chemistry for most of my pre-teen/teen years. π However, the deeper I dove, the more toxic and overwhelming the fandom became in my life. Both HTTYD and ROTBTD completely CONTROLLED me for about 7 years, to the point that my obsession broke my social life and led me to some toxic personal friendships at a time when I really needed better influences in my life. I left both fandoms (and fandom in general) around 2020, and they still haunt me to this day.
Speaking from experience, there are some corners of the ROTBTD fandom that I wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole. Stay FAR, far away from the ships. It's a bloody, ugly battlefield if you have any hot takes or are a purist, like me. Also, some of the AUs are freaking WILD.
(By the way, I don't mean to judge anyone or insult someone's interests when I talk about these. I apologize if what I say offends. It truly is not intentional. I am simply attempting to share my experiences and I have a lot of... feelings. π¬ Again, very sorry if I speak bluntly.)

I guess I have another one, and maybe a bit of a hot take.
I really hate geeky fandoms that rely heavily on hyper-consumerism.
I feel like the worse are Disney, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Marvel.
There is all this useless tat that just flood the shelves. No one needs the stuff but because popular character is on it, people feel the need to hoard them. It's so sad when I see people say they buy things they don't even like just to complete a collection. Or you have collectable that are sort of gatekept, so the only people who own them are rich even tho there is nothing about the product which justifies it costing more.
Then you have the Disney/Marvel issue of there being so much products on the market that there is a bunch of stuff that never sells. Which end up going to a landfill and creating waste.

I find Kanye West's fanbase to be FAR more toxic and cultlike compared to Taylor's(not to mention incredibly bigoted). Normally I would be tired of hearing about Swift but hearing that she's triggering conservatives and alt-right dipshits makes me live for announcements of anything regarding her just cause I know it's making the worst kinds of people butthurt LOL
HP fanbase used to be fine until JKR came out as a transphobe, then there was an ugly split in the community where bigots outed themselves and made themselves known(you saw especially a lot of that in the sake of Hogwarts Legacy).

Kanye West fanbase is worse & all that, but even after all that I just don't care about most modern music & in general I usually don't care about any music that I don't consider to be the kind of music I would listen to, so therefore Taylor Swift I will not bother with. I would've gone to a Rush concert, but unfortunately one of the main folks of that band died, therefore meaning they can no longer perform that well anymore. So far, the only modern musician I love to listen to that's not attached to video games is Weird Al. Some of Nicki Minaj's songs are good, but I'm not really INTO her music.

Yeah there was an obscure show years ago covered by Youtuber Hazel called like "America's greatest otaku/anime fan" and she posed the question: "but how can you just define a nerdy anime fan, considering it can come down to how much anime goods you can buy, how much stuff you can purchase?" She basically said it becomes super elitist and consumerist and not necessarily the reflection of a "true otaku."
MikuMikuDance, but thankfully I was only solely in the hobby aspect and didn't post any works online. Lurking thru the internet drama was pretty devastating enough, though. Then there's some xenophobia in the Japanese community with the "foreigners can't use model" rule.
That whole "foreigners can't use model" rule reminds me of some sort of claim that Indians hate it when foreigners criticize their movies & shows, although to my knowledge that's not all that true(Indian soap operas in particular are just memed on in India for being filled with over 1000 crappy effects every 2 minutes).
Lol I knew you were going to link that shattering lady video. Laptop cleaning lady is another great classic. If cleaning my DSi XL with window spray as a child was bad enough...
The ironic thing about the fandoms that I don't like are that they come from some of my favorite media and I am a part of them
Here's a list
Steven Universe
Marvel
Star Wars
Disney (Mainly the animated stuff tho)
Sonic
Harry Potter
Several Animes
These are not all of them either but they are a portion of them. Luckily I managed to stay away from the toxicity, have good interactions with other fandom members, and still stay in the fandom. The fact that these toxic people always have to exist in popular fandoms is annoying. It drives people away and gives anybody who is a part of the fandom a bad label when they try to introduce it to other people.
Yes this is my 2nd post within 10 minutes. Do you guys have fandoms that you hate? If so, when did you start hating them, why did you start hating them, and do you think you can stop hating them after a while?
PS- Sorry for making 2 posts in a short span of time.
MHA, god awful fandom. I think what has marked me the most was the ''todoroni and cheese'' audio, absolutely vile

Anime fans are probably the worse. I am not talking about people who like one or two shows, I am talking about the otaku/weeaboo types who are in a fandom bubble. For some reason, they tend to be the most chronically online, out of touch, racist, sexist, and creepy perverts there are. And I remember a lot of them infesting the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fandom back in the day, which lead to me leaving it.
THIS. FREAKIN' THIS. These weaboos can just show up ANYWHERE & can ruin a normal anime fan's day. Kenny Lauderdale likely hates these guys as well considering he's more of an oldie while weaboos tend to not go to anything before the 90s unless it's Dragon Ball or occasionally Fist of the North Star. They'd be saying how Japan is this place where "wokeness from the West" has never infected all they want, when in reality a lot of Japanese media from back in the 50s to even today & even WAY back when ARE American influenced in several ways. They may still have that classic Japanese feel, but the American influence is still VERY visible. LGBT+ characters, different races, women in powerful roles, among other "Western" values exist in Japanese media throughout if you look hard enough... or sometimes you don't even NEED to because you know, SAILOR MOON EXISTS. I bet ya' if they ever see who Sailor Uranus & Sailor Neptune are, they would spaz out.
Makes me glad that most of them have likely never heard of Akazukin ChaCha because that's like, MY FAVORITE ANIME EVER. Nothing can outweigh Akazukin ChaCha in terms of how much of an influence it was on me as a person. It's more or less one of the reasons why I am still around today.
Ironically, ChaCha's message is similar to that of Steven Universe's message lmao.
Yeah. That kind of shit is what i happens when some no-lifes decide to base their entire personality on a consumer product that is no longer "underground" because the internet made its access so easy. Thats the definition of "cope"

I dont think i "hate" things... but, i have a great disdain for the Danganrompa and Evangelion fandom. Its amusing to me how a media piece can generate the worrying levels of "brainrot" they expose. Seriosly, this media pieces can be SCP's by merit.
